[Colloq] Talk today at 10:30 in Raytheon -- AI and also how to get funding from DARPA, and new programs coming uo!

[Brodley, Carla]

Both Stacy Marsella and I have heard this talk and it is excellent. In addition, at breakfast this morning I asked John to talk a bit about how you obtain funding from DARPA and how this is different than NSF.   He will also informally share new areas coming up.

Best regards,
Carla

Subject: [administration] [allccis] REMINDER TODAY CCIS Distinguished Lecture: "Artificial Intelligence: A DARPA Perspective" | Speaker: Dr. John Launchbury, DARPA | Date: November 10th at 10:30 in Raytheon Amphitheater

Title: Artificial Intelligence: A DARPA Perspective
Speaker: Dr. John Launchbury, DARPA
Date:November 10th at 10:30 in Raytheon Amphitheater


Abstract:
Recent, powerful technology developments in artificial intelligence (AI) are being harnessed to support many different applications, yet fundamental limitations still exist. This talk will explore this powerful technology that DARPA has catalyzed for decades and that is now poised to move in surprising new directions.


Bio:
Dr. John Launchbury is the Director of the Information Innovation Office (I2O) at DARPA. In this role he develops strategy and works with I2O program managers to develop new programs and transition program products.

Before joining DARPA, Dr. Launchbury was chief scientist of Galois, Inc., which he founded in 1999 to address challenges in information assurance through the application of functional programming and formal methods. Under his leadership, the company experienced strong growth and was recognized for thought leadership in high-assurance technology development.

Prior to founding Galois, Dr. Launchbury was a full professor at the OGI School of Science and Engineering at OHSU (Oregon). He earned awards for outstanding teaching and gained international recognition for his work on the analysis and semantics of programming languages, the Haskell programming language in particular.

Dr. Launchbury received first-class honors in mathematics from Oxford University, holds a Ph.D. in computing science from the University of Glasgow and won the British Computer Society's distinguished dissertation prize. In 2010, Dr. Launchbury was inducted as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).
